A judge said he will wait a week before issuing an arrest warrant for a Shuswap freeman on the land to ensure the man has been properly served with court documents.
Judge Hermann Rohrmoser declined to issue a warrant for the arrest of Nicholas Mitra, a Scotch Creek man who is charged with obstruction of justice stemming from a traffic stop earlier this year.
The details of that incident were not put before the court, but it s believed Mitra was stopped after he was seen driving without licence plates on his vehicle. His responses - or lack of them - in the ensuing moments eventually led to the man being charged with obstruction of justice.
